THIS IS THE SECOND TBRIDESTONE TIRE IN TWO MONTHS THAT I HAVE LOST TREAD FROM. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TWICE AND DON'T WANT A THIRD INCIDENT. I WAS IN 5:30PM TRAFFIC AND FELT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT RIDING CORRECTLY I DECIDED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND WHEN I DID I LOST HALF OF THE TREAD. I STILL HAVE THE TIRE IN MY CAR. I DROVE IMMEDIATLEY TO A LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER AND THE BEST THEY WOULD DO IS PRO-RATE MY ANOTHER BRIDGESTONE DUELER TIRE. I'M STUCK BECAUSE THESE TIRES ARE NOT IN THE RECALL AND SHOULD BE!! NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW SET OF TIRES. THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN BRIDGESTONE LEADS THE PUBLIC TO THINK! PLEASE HELP!!( DOT NUMBER: EJMT TIRE SIZE: P24570R16 )

ORIGINAL TIRES ON VEHICLE WERE DUELER 684. REPLACED WITH SAME TIRE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. UNDERSTOOD AT THAT TIME THE DUELER 684 WAS NO LONGER PRODUCED BUT LOCAL FIRESTONE STORE SPECIAL ORDERED LAST 3 TIRES FROM ANOTHER LOCATION'S STOCK SO I WOULD ONLY HAVE TO REPLACE 3 TIRES AND USE MY ORIGINAL UNUSED SPARE. ON 6/12/00 I NOTICED A BULGE ON BACK LEFT TIRE WITH SMALLTIRE SEPARATION. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED WITH SPARE. DURING THE WEEK BEFORE I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE FOR REPLACEMENT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE WAS ON MY SPARE RACK AND TOTALLY DECOMPRESSED WITH HALF OF THE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. I WAS LUCKY! LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER (STORE #008842) PRO-RATED TIRE FOR $49.99. TIRE ONLY HAD ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. FIRESTONE REPLACED WITH DUELER H/L P-MET P245/70R16. OTHER TROOPER AND SAME TIRE OWNERS SHOULD ALSO KNOW ABOUT THIS TIRE!! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE DUELER 684'S AND HOPE THESE ARE ALSO RECALLED!( DOT NUMBER: Y7MT TIRE SIZE: P245/70R16 )
